This dictionary has a total wordlist of about 5000 main words with subsidiary words and expressions derived from them. All the words and expressions are defined in simple terms, and examples are given of how each word is used in context.

The text has been prepared in conjunction with various editors experienced in printing and publishing, and especially with the London College of Printing.
